Association Between Arterial Hyperoxia and Mortality in Pediatric and Adult Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Anesth AnalgPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies

Authors' conclusion

In critically ill patients on VV- or VA-ECMO, increased Pa o2 values were associated with increased 28-day mortality in ECMO patients.
